Bob wrote: >Actually what have been posted and circulated as hard copies are >copies of three Kodak film BOXES with labels affixed to them, not >canister labels. Bob, What have been made available are photocopies of labels _claimed_ to originate from Kodak film boxes. But aren't you leaving out something of importance here? In September of 1995, you stated: "Ray Santilli does have some of the original film boxes with the cameraman's notes on the back. We have already gotten in touch with a forensic document examiner certified by Christie's auction house in London. This person will conduct an analysis of the written notes and film boxes to date them, independently of the film. We can also do a handwriting comparison to establish that "Jack" is actually the person who made the notes on the film boxes. Some of the film cans have labels stuck on them as well, and there is a variety of other physical evidence associated with the film which can be dated. This work will go on parallel to mine, and we should be able to announce all of the results at the same time." [End] I pointed out to you some time later that when Ray was asked "Why have the original film box labels not been made available for examination but only copies instead?", he had explained, "I only have copies, the boxes were returned". You then confirmed, "It is my belief that Ray never had or saw those film boxes, that he just had photo copies provided by the cameraman", which prompted my question, "Then why would he say the boxes were returned?". Now over a year since your original statement, on 19 December, 1996, you responded: "Originally, Ray told me he had the actual boxes and sent me photo copies of them. I made the arrangements to have the boxes examined, but when the time came to do it Ray confessed that he did not have them. He claimed that he had sent them back some time before. Now he knew I was setting up this examination and never mentioned this. In conversations with him I have asked what color the boxes were, what sort of cardboard, tape, labels, etc. My impression from Ray's answers is that he really never saw the actual boxes and was just supplied with photocopies. I have no proof of this, but it is what I think happened. Ray tends to exaggerate things to his benefit, and even when he is being absolutely forthright he tends to use language very sloppily". In other words, you were apparently misled by Ray, as you have been on a number of key issues. Perhaps we should explain the full circumstances for the record. >Kal claims that the seal on the labels is that of the DOD, and that >this did not exist in June or July of 1947. >It is by no means established that these are DOD seals. What Kal Korff appears to have overlooked is that the DoD seal was inherited from the National Military Establishment, the seal remaining unchanged. The imprint on the labels appears to be a stamp, not necessarily a formal seal. There's a comparison of the relevant seals on my web site, at URL: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/pulsar/aa_qa.htm >Ray has shown me several different Elvis documentaries he has >produced, and they contain footage from a wide variety of sources. Has Ray shown you the actual footage which he claims was bought from "Jack". Wasn't that also unavailable when you were supposed to see it? >BTW, "The entire venture would be marketed under the name of "Roswell >Limited"." Actually, Kal, that's Roswell Footage Ltd., which was >later changed to Orbital Media, Ltd. And which, before it became Roswell Footage Ltd., was the suitably named, International Exploitation Management. James. E-mail: pulsar@compuserve.com
